Special to The Freeman: Just one year ago we read in the Literary Digest, a splendid article on the progress made by the colored race. The part that particularly interested me was the reference to the success attained by leading surgeons of the race, naming Dr. Daniel Hale Williams, of Chicago, Dr. R. F. Boyd, of Nashville; Dr. James A. Curtis, Washington, and Dr. George C. Hall, of this city. It was an exhaustive article and commanded a wide range of reading, especially among the esoteric class. These distinguished surgeons must have felt proud of this high honor and prouder indeed were those of the city who were fortunate in perusing such a commendable article in the world's greatest chronicler of events. Dr. D. H. Williams. The physician and surgeon of this city, like the lawyer, holds a high place at the bar of public opinion. Probably Chicago has the reputation of having more thorough and capable surgeons of any city in the United States. The name of Dr. Daniel Hale Williams is known by every colored physician in this country. He has done a class of surgical work that makes him stand out as prof Dr. Daniel H. Williams. positive that the brain of the Negro is capable of highest development. Then the city who are measuring arms with the best in the land. They have graduated from the best medical universities, taken post coursework and studied at hospitals and have written articles of a profound nature on various subjects for the leading Medical Magazine that has been the admiration of the medical community. Dr. Geo. C. Hall. Dr. George Cleveland Hall's name is a household word among Chicagoans. He has a long career in the medical profession, but a man of acacrs and the interest he has in helping others suffer and helpfulness to those suffering; especially is this manifested in Dr. M. C. A. and Provident Hospital, Dr. M. C. A. and Provident Williams, has traveled abroad and met wide experience in his observance of a leading medical colleges and hospitals. Other Surgeons. It is a well known fact that Drs. S. E. Anderson, U. G. Dalley, James R. White, U. G. Dalley, James R. White, W. McDowell and others are daily performing difficult operations at Provilion and are ably assisted by trained staff. Anderson was interne at Provilion and performed such a difficult operation one of the daily papers of the that gave this is a progressive and specialty every major law profession. Nearly every lawyer is specializing in many very proficient cases, some particular much of the law; so the doctor, the médicine, the journalist, the artist and the mechanic, the medical profession. They are not merely offering but are more in earnest staffing but are more in earnest the prevention of diseases. The drain- sage, sanitation of streets, homes, halls, yards, lectures to the public, polls, and other services they are contributing their part to the betterment of humanity and the best service to the City Health Department. We do not actually recall every physician and surgeon in the city but among them there are many homes in the city aside from those named above are: Drs. M. J. M. Brown, J. W. Lewis, E. W. Ellison, Carl B. A. H. Holoway, W. A. Buckner, A. F. N. Woolley, A. Woolley Holo- ld, F. N. Woolley. L. Smith, Richard Smith, J. N. Croker, J. C. Cotton, M. R. Blibbs, W. H. Marshall, E. W.

Members of National Bodies Many of the physicians are members of the National and State Medical Association and recently there was organized a local Dental Society. Dr. A. Wilberforce Williams is a contributing editor to the journal and conducts an interesting department in the Chicago Defender. It is interesting to note, yet there are several oced citizens, have as their family physicians and specialists, men of the race. This is because physicians have proven themselves to be medical professionals they love their race and feel they are engaged in the noblest of professions, are specialists of all kinds and when they give you up, "its the Lord's will." One of the excellent signs of their profession is owned by Chicago physicians, their up-to-date offices, instrument cases, surgical and dental paraphernula and promptness in their answer, which produce medical men and may they grow with their growth and strengthen with their strength. Dr. U. G. Daily. The doctor and the lawyer, must of necessity graduate from a reputable college or university, and then pass the State Board of Examiners before he can practice in his profession. Such a training puts them in the front rank as lead- DR. U. G. DAILEY. ers and thinkers and in a large measure holds the destiny of the race. Last summer Dr. George Smith, a graduate of the leading medical cities of the city, found time to make a six-week course in a New York Medical College and returned better prepared for his practice, and is one of the most successful of the young physicians Northwest.

"The great fortunes of men we meet day by day are not made from salaries, however much investment in business," said Samuel W. Rutherford, in stifling the keynote of a mass meeting a few evenings ago at the National Benefit Association, in promotion of the commitment under the auspices of the National Benefit Association, in promotion of the commitment of the District of Columbia, Mr. Rutherford, a native of Virginia, and confessedly one of the most experienced and successful general manager of the National Benefit Association, rated as the largest and the best-known insurance company in the world, president of the association is Dr. Robert W. Brown, a practicing physician, who has been a general manager cumulated a goodly portion of its world's goods. The other officers and members of the board of directors are: H. H. Kinsa, assistant secretary; M. B. Wood, treasurer; J. H. Braxton, M. E. Lowery, L. S. Flummer and C. W. Foster. The series of assemblies devoted to a stimulation of the commercial spirit of the market additional stock of the National Benefit Association for the purpose of enlarging the area of its activities in sales at the meeting amounted to $231.71. Prof. Miller Emphasizes Commercial Development. The principal speaker of the occasion was Prof. Kelly Miller, dean of the Academic diversity. In the course of his unusually able and scholarly address, Prof. Miller stated the quality in the general governmental affairs of the nation, because of conditions growing out of his past limitations and political oppression, the race for success and the paths to which he is allowed access at a minimum of friction. He referred to the Negro second only to the participation in government—in its influence upon the race in catering to the wants of this race, material, civic advancement. As a teacher, the Negro thus practically unmiserable, the command for self-helpment. Nevertheless, he thought that the greatest emphasis should be placed on time, the community, the moment of race. The weakest link in the Negro's chain of progress. Finance and trade are now accepted as the main means of people, and the Negro to occupy a commanding position in the scheme of modern civilization, must become a factor in the martial and business activities of the time. “The colored man must make for himself a place in the business world,” said Prof. Miller, “if he would be considered in the national equation of the future. There is no reason why, why, no reason for the purpose of the meeting, he would be stewed in the race, or in protecting it against accident, sickness and death, as the National Benefit Association and similar organizations are doing on a large and comprehensive scale. The Negro is hung on; there is time to make a change in the world; he is naked about three times a year and must be clothed; he is often ill and must have medical attention; he has property and civil rights and must have them safeguarded by legal advice; he must have an abiding place, and someone must be in the place; he must be a man who is his family; he must be entertained, in one way or another, and somebody must supply his needs in this direction; he dies in due season, and someone must bury him. All of these conditions, and many more, offer immediate opportunities for the people to be and to be, to be and to die, to be and to start with, and it is his primary duty to take advantage of the immense commercial field that lies within his reach. He can outdistance all competitors, for it is perfectly natural that a people would rather deal with their own brethren than with others, and that the most important organization like the National Benefit Association, that instill this vital principle of self-helpfulness, business integrity and absolute fidelity in handling all of the interests intrusted to the Negro's keeping, should be fostered and encouraged. They confer upon the race the most practical and last blessing that can be bestowed. Rev. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, delivered the address of welcome to the organization on behalf of Mr. Brown. Brown felicitously responded. Hon. J. C. Napier, registrar of the treasury, spoke of "The Nesro as a National Business Association and admired the power to strive to be paymasters rather than employees, whenever and wherever possible. A choir, made up of the agents and attachés of the Nesro, sang to the direction of Mr. E, N. Breadnax, rendered folk-songs and hymns. How a Great Business Institution Was Built Up According to the illuminating address of Secretary Rutherford, the National Association of Teachers, for tenteen years ago, and had for its office a small back room at 699 F street, paying a rental of $6 per month and a yearly fee of $919, the nine members representing a business of $3,000. In 1912 by strictly business methods and systematics, the company's membership had advanced to 19,491, representing a total of $6,000,000 million dollars. Total collections run up to $6,000,000 in cash. Current receipts for last year amounted to $2,055,555, showing an increase in business of about 16 per cent, in a single year. The Nationwide entire building in which it started out as its humblest tenant, a modern structure located in the heart of the commercial district, $5,000. For the space not used by the offices of the company, a rental of $1,800 would be required, building three stories in height, values Public Library plan 13 at $12,000, was recently purchased in Philadelphia as the home of one of its branches. The investments of the company are gilt-edged, and the amount of the investment is $33,000 worth of county, municipal, railroad and other bonds, covering many of the leading cities. Railroad corporations and trust companies of the country, one of which is the famous "Farmers' Club" of the United States, are the attention of the most prosaic financiers and inspires confidence at a glance. With secured loans to the amount of $2,000, the National Benefit Association, and in office, together with a valuation of $65,000 on the business, the total of resources is brought up to nearly two million dollars. The National Benefit Association, when called upon to comply with the law of the District of Columbia, which requires a cash deposit of $25,000 to provide a cash deposit of $25,000 to the company, is put up double the amount, $50,000, which safeguards the policyholders in all of the six states in which the company operates. Under the "Agents" Security Act, the Company is a "licensed" own cash bond, an additional measure of protection. Three examiners from the insurance department of Maryland this year, after a most searching investigation, found that the company is normally managed; the general records are neatly and accurately kept. The company has in its office twenty-seven members, and the company is a member of the third-party, with thirty-seven outside, paying them generous salaries. Together with the army of agents, the company affords lucrative employment to over 750 members of the company. The company is the National Benefit Syndicate Committee, now in its fifth year, which carries resources valued at $32,554,84, most of it in standard bonds, with some last year amounting to $9,542,85. The National Benefit Association is harmonious from top to bottom, and has its own mission. It also offers its officers and agents possess race pride to the last degree, and give evidence of being animated, not only by the spirit that exhorts them, but also by a broad humanitarianism that looks to the social and economic uplift of all our people. "Willow Tree Alley" Going "Willow-Truee Alley," one of Washington's most notorious slums, is rapidly disappearing. Last session of Congress appropriated $25,000 for the purpose of restoring the locality to it into an interior park and playgrounds. This alley, between Third and Fourth-street, has been one of the most closely populated sections of the city. The work in hand calls for the tearing down of the old buildings, the tenants, of which 171 were white and 256 colored. It is expected that other unsavory allays will be cleaned out in like manner, and able and sanitary houses and flats, of moderate size and low price, are being constructed on good streets and in the same colored and many colored families are moving into them. The Dunbar Club The Dunbar Club, located temporarily at 500 T street, northwest, is prospering, and the membership has passed the year. The club is located in W. W. Fenton, 150 W. Washington, and is one of Washington's most representative citizens, and the personnel of the club are a large number of individuals who are aristocratic clubs of the other race in the capital of the nation.

Street, northwest, and is now a free-room house. The new office date.

Franch, for thirty-five years, a practicing physician here, and one of the District Health district an almost useful member of the dead, was a member of the staff for years; was president of the Social Settlement Association, and was the chief president of the Association.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION The Colonel admitted taking a little for his stomach's sake. It is said that the council of Baltimore is preparing for a new segregation law, one that's not too stiff to work like the former one. It is to be hoped that the fate of the first one will take the run out of a few of the members. Just enough of them to defeat the proposed new measure. President Wilson has taken a firm stand against the lobbyists, many of whom are now in Washington for the object of impeding impending tariff legislation. He says there are good lobbyists and bad ones. Most of those in Washington at this time, he says, are in the interest of special concerns which hope to thrive off of the people. Prof. W. B. DuBois has not had such plain sailing out West. A few papers had some ugly things to say of him. Said he was surly and ungrateful after effort had been made to make his visit pleasant. Maybe the "campaigning" in Booker T. Washington's wake had something to do with this. Some little partisanship, don't you know. Colored applicants for diplomatic posts doubtless are a bit disturbed by the report that President Wilson did not intend to appoint anyone to a position of the kind who would actively think it a baseless rumor. The President will not introduce "violent" methods in his administration. However, if the rumor is true the fellows who have shied castors in the ring will think of their efforts as "love's" labor lost. A member of the common council of Philadelphia recently introduced a resolution in that body to the end that $5,000 be appropriated for the entertainment of the National Negro Business League, which meets in that city August 21, 22 and 23. The bill was passed and signed by the mayor, Doubless Booker T. Washington and other prime movers in the organization are very thankful for the generous offering. It says very much for the white people of that city and of that state. It will be remembered that the statute appropriated $20,000 for the use of the colored people in promoting their exposition, which is to be held in celebration of the fifty years of freedom and the Emancipation Proclamation. Pennsylvania is all right. GOVERNMENT DEPENDS ON COOKS. It is being said that the new regime at Washington has made effort to have the government clerks at their desks at 8 o'clock. The colored cooks, who control the kitchens in that city of Southern inclination, absolutely refused to serve breakfast at 7 o'clock in the morning because they were not used to such an unearthly hour. The Boston 'Transcript says: "Threats of discharge as a measure of discipline have no terrors, for leness is as normal as industry. Moreover, probably 90 per cent of the colored domestics of Washington live in their own homes and go to and from their work morning and night. Some of them live just around the corner from where they are employed and others miles away. They will come at whatever hour they please and they please to come in time to get breakfast ready at 8 o'clock. They will quit when they please at night, most of them whether their work is finished or not. This is not true of all, of course, for the 'jewel of a girl' among Washington domestics is to be found in the ratio of 1 to 10,000, but it applies as a general proposition." ELECTION PROBE SCARE. Senator Kern's effort to force an investigation of mining conditions in West Virginia has stirred up considerable talk about the Southern political situation. It has been said that if the senate of the United States has authority to investigate as to whether or not citizens of West Virginia are being deprived of their just and legal rights it would have equal authority to its history arm into Mississippi, South Carolina and other southern states to ascertain whether or not the black man is accorded the rights and privileges that are guaranteed to him under the Constitution of the United states. The bare idea that in dealing with the West Virginia situation the senate may establish a precedent which might lead to an investigation of citizens in the South, where the "Grand Daddy clauses" and other hocus-pocus legislation operates to bring about the disfranchisement of blocks of colored voters is enough to frighten the Southern Democratic statesmen and they are considerably worked up by it. They don't want the senate to commit itself to such precedents as might lead to an investigation of election frauds in the South and that is exactly what the West Virginia resolution seems to be. The Internet is as much as can be said to be. Of course, it reveals the fact that the Negroes have a cause in the Southern states, a fact which has never been denied. right of federal authorities to investigate election methods wherein federal officials are concerned has never been denied. The only fear, if it can be called fear, is that the Kern resolution might be considered a precedent, making it possible to put the Democrats in a hole in event an investigation was demanded. The result of such an investigation, we know, would be known from the beginning. In fact, the Negroes do not care to be the subject of acrimonious debate which promises nothing in the end. SUPREME CHANCELLOR COMMANDER GREENE OF K. OF P. REPORTED LYNCED Report has it that Supreme Chancellor Commander of the Knights of Pythias Greene was taken from a Pullman coach and lynched near Milton, Fla. At this time the information has not been confirmed. We do not wish to believe that such an awful thing has happened to Mr. Greene. If it is true he has paid a fearful "penalty" for bucking the hard and fast "Jim Crow" laws of that section. He did a foolhardy thing, not because he exceeded his rights conceded him as a citizen of the country, but because he exceeded a law of his state and that still more difficult thing to beat—public sentiment. This is not the time, nor perhaps the place to stand for proscripture measures, yet we cannot get away from the fact that they exist, and that they are most rigidly enforced. Mr. Greene meant well in his effort to be an entering wedge for prying open the door to better things for his race. If what is reported is true he is in some sense a martyr, as foolhardy as his act was. Then, again, Mr. Greene knew that our race as a whole is not prepared to enjoy first class accommodations. He was an exception, just as tens of thousands more are exceptions. But the great mass of people were wrong. We had lose sight of that fact as distressing as it may be to those of us who are prepared. But regardless of all this, lynchings is not a fate for any man who would ride elsewhere than in a "Jim Crow" coach. We do not think that the better class of white people of the South think so. If the report is true, it will not argue for the better relations of the races as we have always hoped for. We, however, are willing to thing the deed committed by irresponsible hot heads, and that the deed will be swiftly condemned. It is about the only consolation to be drawn, unless that community takes the matter in hand and hounds the perpetrators down—a very uncustomary thing to do.

Fifth Straight Game Won on Home Diamonds—Johnson's Pitching a Big Feature—"Rube" Foster Decides to Admit Ladies Free During Weekday . Games—Biggest Clubs in the Country Coming. (By Cary B. Lewis.) CHICAGO, Ill., May 28.—It was a chilly day. Too cold for the usual number to assemble at the American Giants' Baseball Park on last Sunday to see the home boys wallop the Nebraska Indians, which is one of the strongest teams in the West. The fighting braves, without feathers and paint, showed that they possess all that goes to make up a great baseball aggregation. Young Johnson was the most-scattered team. He struck out seven men and pitched a fine game and was admirably supported. It was a pitcher's battle for supremacy and Johnson received the laurels. The game was exciting and enthusiastic throughout, and especially was this true when Black Bear, of the Indians, let a ball pass at home plate and "Diamond Monroe" scored from second base. One of the big features of the game was that each team played without an error. The game was played in one hour and twenty minutes. The Indians crowded the Giants, but "General" Foster sat on the bench and coached the boys to victory. The score! AMERICAN GIANTS. R. H. O. A. E.

In order to have a first-class box, put your order in now, as it is expected that 10,000 people will crowd in the American Giants park on June 4. "Diamond Monroe" was again in the illumination. We still maintain that he is the greatest second baseman in the country. The pennant given by the Chicago people at Vancouver, B.C. to the American Giants, and the one won by the West Baden Spruedis will make their first visit to Chicago. They will bring an aggregation of twenty men, expecting to play June 29, and July 1. See them. Since Louis Johnson has become a "newly-wed" he seems to take on more "steam" as a pitcher. Everybody is applauding Johnson's high-class pitching. "Grand Old Man" Pete Hill, as usual, made his three-base hit. Captain Hill is leading the batting average on the Giants' team. Pierce put out seventeen men at first. Can you beat him? His record is second to none in the American Giants, and he is regarded as a safe hitter. The Louisville Cubs, from Kentucky, will be here this season, and when they come a section in the grand stand will be reserved for Kentuckyians. This will be the time when they will be reserved for the against the Giants and "root" for the boys of Kentucky, William Cowan, "Bill" Adams, "Lon" Malone, Tobacco Brown and a number of ladies of the world, will be reserved from Louisville, will be among the chief rooters for the boys of the Bluegrass State, the land of fast horses, pretty women and good whisky.

The Plutos boast of the best outfield of the big clubs. Norman, Binga, "Cunningham and Mendez" contest will come with a playoff. Lynch, the star pitcher, won from the American Giants last season, and has not been beaten this year. He will pitch Sunday's game. St. George will become the club's first-class club, and will give the Giants an argument in the contest. It is predicted by the fans to be the only club in the West that has a place to wreate the team from a Giants. The Cubans will inaugurate the week day ball game.

Buckner, a Chicago favorite and a former Giants player, and Page Fence, formerly of the Columbia Giants, will pitch the opening game. Dan McClellan, rated as the best southpaw pitcher, who was with the Giants, will be with the aggregation. Fans who desire box seat tickets may secure them during the game on Sunday for the game on Sunday. Ladies are admitted every week day.

This number made a delightful old child. He meantime they constantly kept the audience roaring with their "new work." "Dat's Money, Honey, she's You born," was written and sung intently. So pleasing and appreciative was the act that the team stopped the show and they were forced to sing an encore. These popular boys should feel proud of their accomplishment. Another bill of the same kind was that of Morrissey and Hannon, singing comedians. This was a big act, of big importance, and best brain and stage thought. It was a star act and received with great aplause and commendation. Such acts are always welcome at the wonderful "Thing" was great. Seymour's educated dogs opened the bill.

Patti and her company in "Captain Jasper," assisted by Julius Glenn, opened big Monday, May 19, at the Grand. They were greeted with a large audience. All seats on the lower floor were taken, and the balcony and gallery were filled. The group was very big by W.V. Cook, whom I understand is to write the coming season's show. This one is very good. Mr. Glenn as Jasper Charcoal has some very funny situations to face throughout the play, and he is now just a little to make up. The group and the joy was not as strong as could be, but was made up in the other parts of the show. "Lady Angeline," sang by Miss Sarah Green and her company was "Goodbye, Rose," and W.V. Glenn was "Waves" sang by George W. Terrant were well received and he was compelled to answer several encores. In one of these songs the quintet assisted him. "I Am by Myself" sang by Julius Glenn, was a knockout. Without doubt, Glenn is a real funny fellow and has a good chance of being the ability of a comedian in the play. He kept the house in an uproar of laughter. We must compliment Al F. Watts on his straight work as he surprised a host of his friends here. Pattens seemed at home in the room of M. Mummy. The conversation between he and Mr. Glenn at the opening was great. The work of the two is very credible. The "Snake Rag" number was good, but Miss Alice Rarsey carried a spoon, a little so much as it was. We feel catified, she never noticed or thought of it then, but her singing and dancing in this number captivated the audience. J. L. Grant and Mrs. Watts, I believe, were the winners of the cake walk. All in that number were good. Mr. Cook deserves credit for his writing of the show and his tramp character, which was very good. When the curtain went up on the second act, we knew we would soon hear Mme. Patti singing with the same melody as of yore; that we would again listen to a voice so far famed and one that we deem a rare treat to hear. Mme. Patti has an exceptional skill, and a witful side to him has the appearance in carefully selected and costly costumes charmed the audience. As she smilingly stepped forth and began to sing, the reception she received was so great that she had not always knowledged it with the grace of a real-duchess and began to sing. I need say no more of her singing, as we all know she stands in a class by herself. Lincoln Theater. Rosebud Harris opened just fair, and Ilggs and Ganby, the comedy team, were good. Madge Clinton in her blackface sketch was a riot. Tim and Hester Moore have not been here for some time, and on their opening received quite an ov The last half opened with Frances Miller, a nice singing act. Shetell and Mitchell, singing, dancing and talking act, that was good. The next act was good. Tim and Hester again appeared in another one of their acts which was a scream. Lafayette Theater. At the Lafayette Theater Miss Ada Overton presented Miss Margie and Louis an act that was great. The Marshals in comedy songs, dancing and planoiage were great. Mrs. Marshall were some well, well, well. Mrs. Marshall was very funny in his tight-fitting evening dress suit, and his piano stump was cool. Wendy Warden did very well in their sketch entitled "Going Home to Mother." LaBelle Cora in her dancing dental novel was quite an attraction. George Grace Sisters again held their own, going big. Crescent Theater. Harry Franklin was just a fair act. The Snakeraids, two great contortionists, made a big hit. Muriel Ringgold was booked for the week. This young lady proved to be a drawing card. She is very clever; in fact, she was the big noise all week. Allen and Wright were a great act and went big. Joe Jeans in his paper tearing and singing act went big. This young man has a nice baritone voice and handles it very well. Harvey Francis, the strong man, did some very clever stunts and was well received. Miss Muriel Ringgold against stormed her audience. Allen and Morton were another good act, and they went big. Franklin Theater. This house has lost a good stock company that we feel should have been rebuilt. Dempsey and Anna Cook Pankey were the big noise again at this house. They are very clever workers. Their songs and dances were so popular that grand opera to rage time. They are entitled to better time. The Sydney were very good. Mme May Mullen went nice. She was a beautiful vocalist her trained dog was another big hit. The show as a whole was good all the Family Theater Mullen Costello opened big here. Frances Mullen was just fair.

ALONG THE STROLL IN AUGUSTA GEORGIA. Ardine Theater bill for last week. First half, "The Cruel Mother and Old Hag," a three-act drama, in which each and every performer displayed stance abl The last half of the week: "Jazzie Duncan's Wedding in Goose Hollow," Miss Mabe's performance, "Miss Mabe's up to good advantage and she proved to be a real caracturist." Aggie Tansel as a pet daughter showed much sympathy for the auctioneer, Miss Carrie Houze played the part of the mistreated daughter which brought much sympathy from the auctioneer. Miss Carrie Houze played the song, "They Always Pick on Me." Mance McDaniel as the old hag proved himself with real work. Bert Houze as a tramp hero proved himself of real ability in the protection of the girl in the den from the characters as the assistant of the tramp hero was good. Julian Coin and Jack Pueilla as the den ruffians displayed real ability in their respective parts. The audience as a whole was appreciated by the audience. The Airdome orchestra is composed of Messrs. Eugene Landrue, pianist, and Michael Porter, conductor, deserve much credit for the way they handle the music, as they had some very nice pieces, and the Porter Porter stages no sleeping choruses. The Airdome staff consists of some of the most prominent musicians in the men; saxophonist Simo McHler, Alfred Beryard and Mr. Charles Collier, manager and deserves much credit for the way he handles the business end of this program. Mr. Pete Porter, our congenial stage manager, certainly has the people of Augusta with him, as every show he has managed, certainly with the entire approval of the patrons. The company sends regards to all in and out of the profession. The company sends every Saturday day at the Airdome Theater, Ninth street, Mr. Silas Ellott, agent. THE NEW CROWN GARDEN THE ATER. Tim E. Owsley, Proprietor The Crown Garden theater has a good line of attractions this week. Some superstars are doing in the best of scouring the country in the interest of good shows. He will be in town to maintain its reputation as the house of good shows. He was off for Chicago this week where he booked a bunch of good ones. He will be doing something like a successful propeller and manager. Billy Cumby. Billy is well known to the theatrical business, being perfectly at home on the stage. He has that easy way of putting his stuff over that gets 'em just the same. Some performers have merely to come out stand around, say most any old thing and it goes. Magnetism is the word. The audience gets a sympathy with the performer at once. Cumby has a quality kind. He laughs and the audience laughs. It don't know why, it just laughs. Billy does a good monologue in a taking style. He seems to enjoy what he's talking about, and which, owing to his magnetism, everybody's else enjoys. He does a humorous song, "By Myself." In his second appearance he does a bit of Indian, which goes well. He sings "That Last Shot," also very funny, making a hit. His hard-shoe dances are clever. They please. Cumly is expecting to do some big things next season. "Cumby's Big Minstrel Jubilee" is already advertised. Byrd, Brown and Byrd. This trio gives quite a variety of show, and entertaining. Miss Byrd is a very good singer, and she does a dill line of talk, making the scene with the comedian, Byrd, a good one. She has a good voice, doing the song, and I want My Byrd to be the best singer in the ranks of the good ones seen at the Crown Garden. She is of good stage appearance, and she sings the "Tartage Violin." He is a good comedian, who gets off some good jokes, some of them are new, others were worked on. She sings the "Miss Byrd were well received. His "Beautiful Doll" parody was a hit, being rented in the house. He rang in some well-known individuals when singing. This added to the humor. The other member, Miss Brown, sings the "Choo." She also joins the dancing at the close, when the trio do some very clever steps. The trio sings "In Dixie Land" and "The Greatest Neat appearing and are well dressed. The work was well received throughout. Wallace and Greene. The Crown Garden patrons were pleased to see Miss Wallace back again, and she took on herself as a duo of merit, one of her best qualities. She chose, however, to cut out her former style of dancing, doing a more elegant dance, and to wear Miss Wallace has a pretty little girl for a partner, Miss Greene, who is showing up for the new work equally as Miss Wallace. Both are well-known making perhaps the finest appearing team ever seen on the Crown stage. Both befriend women, one can imagine how swell they are. Miss Wallace sings in a pretty style, "You Certainly Look Good to Me." She is a beautiful woman, and to their hearts when she sings "Easy Rider." Their "In My Harem" is beautiful, one, the singing, and the dancing. Their Turkish costumes in this scene, making them delights to the eye. The act is new, novel, and proves a success as the auctioneer, and it is actually the best. It will be appreciated in any house. The Pekin—The New Theatre. The Pekin Theater opened Monday night under very favorable conditions, with good weather and a very attractive bill. The audience brought the turn around. Miss Lloyd Shepherd, after resting up for a while, opened the show with two beautiful new songs, and the audience least suggestive. The Kinkle Doo Trio, consisting of Misses Cooper, Weilks and Smith, were the closing number, and they were just as entertaining. Girls are always a big hit here, where they have played for several seasons and they return just often enough to be a regular part of the show on this week has been seen here before with the exception of several new songs. Notes. Miss Bessie Hocker has returned to the Pekin as the matinee idol, after a week of work. The opening of the New Theater, at Fifth and John streets, seems to be indefinite, owing to a general strike of the building trades. The owner, the popular assistant manager of the Pekin, is no longer connected with the Fifth street playhouse. Mr. Russell Smith, formerly of the Pekin orchestra, sends word to his friends that he is very much pleased with the work of the Williams, with which he is now engaged. NEW ORLEANS (LA.)

OWSLEY Begun as a Minstrel at $4 Per Week—Now Proprietor of a Prosperous Theatrical Venture — The New Crown Garden Theater, Indianapolis, a Success Under His Management and Ownership. The history of the struggles and rise of men is always interesting. This has in mind the limitations that bound ordinary men. The great captains of industry, of finance, of commerce, of art and of standing in the clear above the millions of their kind, and who seem equally as well endowed with face and touch them, rub up against them, talk and eat with them, but for all that, we yet know they have that power to long all men. They stand alongside of us, yet the difference is often as that between the earth and the sun if one may It is not given all men to do things that stand out enlightenly. One will think that a man who has been done or nearly done. The great inventions have about reached their limit. Nevertheless, a struggle to rise on the shoulders of a man is not even, if not greater. Men are struggling to succeed in their mercantile pursuits, in their manufacturing pursuits, in their art and craft. The tens of thousands are faintning and falling by the wayside, while the few reach the goal of their ambition. Some years ago an artist, sketching a pile of human skulls and port, sketched a pile of human skulls and other members of wrecked bodies. It was like a mountain in height. At the top stood one lone man. He had won. The others had failed. There was writ a fair allegory of life as it concerns the achievement of great ends. The colored man who succeeds along the line of his somewhat humbler endeavor is no less deserving of mention and praise. His struggle, no less terrific than those whose names are registered much higher up. He labored according to his day and circumstance. His victories are no less because of the day and circumstance. Here is presented a young showman, Tim Emanuel Owsley, who has struggled up the ladder of his profession, rung by rung, until he has reached the showman's ideal, the proprietor of a theater. His success, his struggles for success, will be measured in the same terms as those of the men whose fame fills all the land, yet relatively they have been the same. The workman is no less because of his poor tools. Tim E. Owley was born October 4, 1886, in Glassport, Ky. He was the oldest of three brothers, and an ames Owley, was a Methodist minister, rose to some distinction in his church, becoming a presiding elder. He was a man of great intellect and ambition with which his son Tim is marked. He struggled for the front of the affairs in which he was engaged. As a pastor in the church, he met the U. B. F.'s, travelled with the well-known Moses Dickson, of St. Louis, established a country. Tim learned of his father in the church, his environment, and had not been a showman he would have been. He was a man of great ambition, began his career in Rev. Owley's church, helping to entertain by way of concerts, thus helping him to build church houses in the country. This was evidenced of his effort to get on in the world. He is also something of a patriot. When the call sounded, he played the fiddle troops when responding to the call Lincoln incoming, Massa Abraham. He enlisted in the Eighth Illinois regiment, going to New York to return he entered the show business. Massa Abraham. Owlsley's first partner as a showman was comedian. They rugged it as so many beasts the old days did, playing beer gardens, barns and so forth. Their career was marked by a series of ill-defined III: Terre Haund, Ind., and other cities in that vicinity. He appeared next in in Armenia's one-Ring circus, as a clown, and make-up artist. He engaged with Reed McCarrier and Reed in their "Honolulu Coon," doing a mono and making music, and an all-around man he was also an understudy for Howard McCarrier. When with it, he wrote his first song, "When Band Wand Bands Band Wand," which was published under the name of Howard McCarrier, by Leo Faist. The man he, however, was not resourceless. He wrote several other songs which were in 1901. Owlsley joined Meharry's Minstrels, starting at $8 per week. He played in the band, also doing comedian on the stage, and managing a made stage manager, then producer. As a producer he wrote "Because I Am Lonesome," sung with success by Bessie Lea Minstrel. He sung by himself with great success, and which made him a favorite. With this song part of the United States and especially the West and South, where he became a prime favorite. He closed with Meharry cappo, ill, for the late it. Motts, as amuse- TIM E. OWSLEY. ment director; relied at the end of the summer; joined R. Vogel's Black Patent star. He played the leading part until the company reached Seattle, Wash., when, owing to disagreement with the management, he then took work on the Plantages circuit for a tour of twenty-two weeks, with the show business. He closed this engagement in Los Angeles, Cal., at which he practically retired from the professi During his retirement he was engaged by the New York Dramatic Agency in the production of *Indianapolis*, from where he went to Savannah, Georgia, to play the opening of the Pekin theater of that city for W. J. Stiles, as producer and comedian, and the rehearsed short tabloid stock acts. At the end of this engagement he came to Indianapolis, from where he went to Savannah, Georgia, to play the opening of the Pekin theater of that city for W. J. Stiles, as producer and comedian, and the rehearsed short tabloid stock acts. At the Globe theater, Jacksonville, three-weeks, closing the engagement for serious illness, which continued for one month, on recovering. He then went to Savannah, Georgia, to play the opening of the Maceo theater for Hubert, an engagement of eight weeks, after which he went to Savannah, Georgia, to play the opening of the Bailey, Closing here, he joined hands with Henry Bowman, the team name being Owlsley and Bowman. They appeared in the production of *Indianapolis*. They followed at the Northwestern Pavilion, Indianapolis, which was managed at the Monogram theatrical cago, Mr. Kline, manager. Returning to Indianapolis, the team name was managed at the Monogram theatrical cago, Mr. Kline, manager. Returning to Indianapolis, the team name was managed at the Monogram theatrical cago, Mr. Kline, manager. Returning to Indianapolis, the team name was managed at the Monogram theatrical cago, Mr. Kline, manager. Their next appearance was at Detroit, Mich., then back to the Monogram in Chicago, they played the Virginia city that city the last half of the same week. After the last named engagement, the team dissolved partnership. Tim came to the management manipolls, the Crown Garden theater, owned by Roland S. Geyer. He took charge of the production in 1912. Geyer and Thompson became owners of this house. Owlsley still maintained the management. October 14 of the year, he formed a partnership, purchased the theater under the firm name Knox and Owlsley. The Crown became the first theater in Indianapolis owned and operated by Owlsley. Later on in the season, Owlsley purchased Knox's interest, thus becoming sole proprietor, reaching the ambition of his known ability and courage he would be heading some of the great houses of this country or at the heart of it. He is modest, unassuming, but thoroughly acquainted with his job. He is anxious to build up his profession, give him experience, and performers know. He has allied himself with Chas. H. Turpin, a theatrical manager of St. Louis, has been able to do very much for the performers. His ingenuity has told all through his managerial work. He is called the manager, owing to his ability to things done. Mr. Owlesy has become a good citizen of Indianapolis. He has identified himself with good moves to Miss Helen Shores, a school girl, marrying about two years ago. They now have a pretty baby girl of five years old, the proprietor of the Crown, Mr. Owlesy is greatly respected. He is earnest, honest and sincere, the best assets of a business man. He is already improving in its patronage, which is dependable. He spends much of his time searching for attractions that will please his patrons. This is well known and appreciated. His success is assured. W. L. MARRRIAGES IN THE PROFESSION J. A. English, the well known hoop roller of the team of English and Queen Street, of Montgomery.

We are now in the city of churches, dear old Brooklyn, and doing the biggest business of any show under canvass for years, with the help of the manager of the show, Mr. Conners, has a broad smile and says he the best band he ever had and that's going some. The boys all join me in rehearsal for the show, and I session. Hello, Lacy, with the Kit Carson W. W. how is everything; also, W. L. Horne, drop me a line. W. L. Horne, old friend. F. All Morgan, who is ahead of the show, but came back to spend a week or so, with the boys while in old town. F. All Morgan, the intimates of thirty years standing, and we find him the same old whole-souled boy of years ago, wearing the same sized hat, and playing with the same instrument in a round of the music publishers and came back with a dray-load of new and popular stuff for the band and orchestra, and some more playing for a while. Keep your eye on Alex, Parker, our young orchestra leader, who heard from our band and some more playing. Well, our minstrel bug is buzzy very loud just now around the white tops and of course the same old disappointments are in the crowd. All hall to The Freeman, the best ever. THE AUDITORIUM THEATER. PHILADORLPHIA, PA. Heading a list of entertainers that might well have been labeled "All Guests," who proved himself one of the greatest novelties that has been seen at the festival, was fine. A great part of the interest of the act lay in the fact that the audience could spend part of its time in the entertainment by guessing what mysteries were being played, gravely in his mystic and magic, and particularly good in his illusions, it beamed nicely in the spot that won approval from the audience. Anita Bush, a singing comedienne, was a star of the Leading Lady Cook, and brightly young women, who danced nicely. A feature of the evening was Criswell and Bailey in The Leading Lady Cook, and brightly young women, who danced nicely. A feature of the evening was Criswell and Bailey in The Leading Lady Cook, and brightly young women, who danced nicely. Tobias and Banks were live wires of the show, their songs and dances being of the latest, and their fun was perished. Johnson and Gross made a decided hit in dancing, and the songs were of the latest, and their fun was perished. The photo-plays were notable for their quality as well as their subjects. These were the story of merit in a vivid way. The pictures are a big and important part of the show and are clear, steady and always interesting. Manager Gibson must have the best. SEEN AND HEARD WHILE PASSING (By S. Tutt Whitney.) to miss Adda Overton Walker's springtime visit to the New Star Casino, New York, missed a rare musical, artistic and social treat. He was a kind and tinguished husband, in that she is never so happy as when helping others less than 18 years old. He knew Mr. Walker will remember the willingness to help others was the key to his many commendable characteristics. Everything from the selection of the dalinity and pretty program ladies, who sold you programs at the door, for Just 10 cents, or more, for Just 20 cents, to the selection of musical director, the choice of orchestra and the staging of Walker. Everywhere was her wonderful personality manifested. Walker was with a program of such superior excellence at a benefit. There was not a weak number Brown and his "Happy Girls," Misses Kathlyn Jones, Hazel Thompson, Louise Cooke, Jett Anderson, Chelle Coleman, and the program, Mrs. Walker staged this act, so its excellency was guaranteed. Mrs. Walker had his happy smile were always in evidence. THE FEMALE ACTRESS Aida Overton Walker. The dancing of Miss Hazeen Thompson, a pupil of Mrs. Walker, is deserving of Mr. Wilbur Sweatman failed to appear, and was replaced by two terpsilochaean artists, who were more marvelous than they gave the most marvelous exhibition of "Turkey Trot" and "Texas Tommy" dancing ever witnessed for many minutes after their dance was finished. In singing and refined comedy, were generously applauded. The act is very good. The character in *Cheetah Walker* in *The Cheepatra Rag* a beautiful composition written by that profile young writer, Wm. Vodery, the sinuous movement of the leopard, the artility of the pather, the gracefulness of the deer and the sinuous movement of the leopard, the idea of Mrs. Walker while dancing. Every muscle of her body is "under perfect control and answers to the mandate of personified. Downs and Comes, billed on the program and answers to the mandate of personified." It would be difficult to surpass the effectiveness, the artistry and the sweetness with which the solos and quads of these grand performers are welcomed. Maggie Davis, Louis Saulsbury and the Porto Rico Girls, Laura Creed and the Haitian Girls, Haile Creed. Theresa Dixon and Katie Crippin, gave an exhibition of high-class singing and dancing not to be surpassed. The girls were the best. The wife of Miss Davis, Mr. Saulsbury and Ida May was first class. Allen and Morton, different from the rest of the comedians, bill, and these two comedians were excruciatingly funny. They kept the audience convulsed with laughter for fifteen happy minutes. The number on the program was Mrs. Walker in reminiscences, assisted by Miss Pearl Crawlard, the prettiest comedian, and the Walker Girls. When Mrs. Walker sang "The Leader of the Ball," and imitated her late husband, the large audience for many minutes. Then the curtain THE FREEMAN.

The Barnnum & Bailey show also the 101 Ranchies our city with the most每一部 and bands previous to the engagement of the Wallace & Hagenbeck. But as soon as Lowery's band played their first number one could see a vast difference in Lowery's band, and the bands with the other companies. After the street parade, I had the pleasure of hearing the minstrel first part, which was composed of good singing, and new and funny jokes. The full orchestra wields an able part in the minstrel first part. The three ladies all possess good voices and dress as swell as our regular vaudeville stars. The band renders an excellent program, consisting of overtures, selections, solos and standard marches. When hearing Lowery's band, one can easily tell the band a some of the Lowery school. The band was royalled received by the musicians of Harrisburg. PROF. JAMES WOLFSCALE'S COMPANY. With Barnum and Bailey's Greatest Show on Earth. Indianaapolis, Ind. On account of arrogance, the Wolfscale band was forced to leave the parade while down town and take a street car to the show grounds, so that the parade could open the side show and accommodate the hundreds of people that were on long before the parade got back from the stage. Fourteen musicians in his band, and is the most popular band in the parade, beware, want, besides playing heavy marches and all the popular songs and latest rags, parade. On account of it being primary election day, Mr. Elwood Knox, of the Freeeman, could not visit the show in the afternoon, but visited the side show at night, also Mr. Lewis, editor of the Freeman, could not visit the show in the afternoon, and the other members of the company, Mr. Fred Garland, member of the band, had a very busy day here greeting relatives, and the company. The roster of the band is as follows: E. Wylde, E. Wylde; J. E. Hurrill, Lewis Ford, clarinets; Troy Wolfscale, Roy Wolfscale, altos; F. Garland, Bandman; J. E.

Wants Bouts For His Boys I have three fairly good boys, one white and two colored. Kid Smith, 155 pounds, and Kid Shoots, 126 pounds, colored. I have kept the boys partly busy here all winter, and the season is getting dull I would like to branch out with my boys. Kid Smith is probably the best boy in the three-dive houts here at the "Buck," and is a great drawing card. Spend is the best colored boy for a youngster. Either boy, I am sure, for all my money. I would like to bring all three of the boys to your city for a tour of the city and to spend an hours respectfully, Kid Phillips, ex-champion lightweight of the South, known as the Old Veteran, 219 West KID FIELDS HAS SOMETHING TO SAY. Kid Fields, who visits Franklin quite frequently, says they have a good ball team there, known as the Invincibles. They wish games with any of the young teams in the nearby towns. They also have a good basketball team here. Here we know the hoodoo in Kid Fields path, the last three matches he was to have fought have slipped by without being fought. The first was in Dayton, Ohio, with Young Smithers, of Columbus, and the others were in the South. Young George Dixon backed out and then came the third with Kid Clark, of New York. His mother became very ill at the last moment and prevented the fight. Fields says he is very sorry for Mr. Clark; he has had illness in his family, having lost his father some time ago and now he is care of his dear old mother and sister. It seems that 113 battles is a hoodoo for him, as he can not get off that number. But he hopes the change will be in his favor and in the mean. Kid Black and his sparrily partner have been the Kitesome Ind., where Kid Black has been boxing with Kid Fields and Young Saylor, and the two have improved him wonderfully. Keep your eye on him. KANSAS CITY (KANS.) GIANTS. The Kansas City (Kans.) Giants have organized and are in the field again this season.

Lindsay and Petway, the battery for the Shawler, both of them are crack players, ranking among the leading baseball men of the season, better known as SAPho, and Cornet were the batter for the A. B.

Japon Foster was asked what he thought of the A. B. C. s. He said they were weak, notwithstanding the that they down, "Not a bit of it," he said. "It is up to the Giants to win all the games they can," he mourned the merrier. He sighed a great everybody thought so. The A. B. C did some nice ball playing. They looked little, but keen. Some of the boys were better than the big fellows after they saw that they had a fighting chance with the much advertised "invincible" fight at A. B. C. Louys dropped a nice one at first after Todd had stumbled over the ball. From that time on the dives were less frequent at the close we were playing with the big fellows. Their fielding was splendid; the best opportunity was to that swung high and clear in the air. Nothing was lost since registration. It was simply a few seconds. There is not very much difference between the playing of the two chants at the masters at any stage of the game. I do not mean to attempt to cheapen the Glants, just boosting the A. B.

The man and the ball were at third just about the same time as it was according to the sat- isfaction given the crowd. Lindsay pitched beautifully. He got wild in the ear, bragged, the tight hining, a thing which cost him the two runs, the only two made during the game. knocking out Brown in the fifteenth round. Those who saw Anderson in accomodation praised the tight hitting power in their practices, a hit hitting power some of them are already proclaiming after insistence on the chief it was complied with is going the rounds that loved a visit of Mr. A. B. C.'s WENT DOWN—LOUIS VILLE CUBS DID IT. Home Team Went to Pieces in the Eighth. Couldn't tell who was who at the Northwestern baseball park last Sunday. In addition, the latters city is itself by the way of the colored people. So when the two clubs were in the same city, there was a difference in the roofing. If anything the Kentucky town had the advantage. The men especially were for Louisville; the women were for their present locality. They went down with C's to defeat and shame. The C's were the favorites, but the Indianapolis team was making the most favorable headway until the eighth, when it went to Cincinnati. They thought that Bartlett grew weak, which was quite natural after having pitched the first game of the Chicago American Giants, and then the following day, when the same dreadful pitch again. C's to 14. The next pitch again. C's to 14. much for the little fellow, who only weighs 148 pounds. But he did splendid work to give it to him. The two clubs were evenly matched as to size and weight. Perhaps there is not much difference between the aggregate. They are differently keen. Sleuthful, chasing the ball like a cat chases a mouse. In a series of five games the chances are that the A. C. would win it, but it is a hapless guess, it tI might turn out the other way. The features of the games were two hits.

BOXING COMMISSION SUBMITS ITS REPORT Asks Legislature for Control of Wrestling, Producing Added Revenue. NEW YORK.—In its annual report to the legislature for the year ended November 30, 1912, the state Athletic Commission urges an amendment to the boxing law which will enlarge its powers to the sport of wrestling may be taken in hand. For some reason, the commission seems to think that wrestling, conducted as boxing is, will produce a large revenue for the state, but since the Gotch-Hackenschmidt swindle in Chicago two years ago the expirations have been the confidence of the sporting public in all the乎的 The Chicago affair drew more than $70,000 at the gate, but if the principals were permitted to wrestle again in the Windy City they couldn't draw seven dollars. The commission's report shows that the state received $49,191.31 or 5 percent of $983,826.20, which licensed clubs received from public patronage during a period of twelve months. As the law was in operation for three months and November 30, 1911, the total receipts according to the report were $1,219,199.85. How boxing has been improved and how foreign countries and various states of the Union have communicated with the commission in search of information as to the conduct of the law also are. North in the missive to the law Forty clubs were licensed, making a total of 40 clubs allowed to operate under the law. Four clubs lost their licenses, while eight licenses were surrendered, voluntarily. The remaining seven and seventy-six licenses in operation. The legislature is asked to amend the license laws so that all can receive a license a bond of $10,000 must be approved by and filed with the state controller to cover the payment to the clubs to boxers, the public and the state. KNOCKOUT BOXERS USUALLY BIG FAVORITES WITH FANS. CHICAGO.—The favorite son of pugilism is the boy with the knockout clout, that sends an opponent into dreamland and brings to a sudden termination the finishing "kick" have been in the minority for a long time, but there is evidence of late that th ewheel has been revolute and coming around once more to the surface. "Knockout fighters." The "Knockout fighters" are none who would prefer to see a contest decided in any other way than the knockout. The knockout would know the point on the "point" is far less harmful than the average amount of punishment taken by fighters a bout between boys who lack in science not know how to properly protect themselves. Take the clever boxer and the strong youngster who prides himself on his gameness and put them into the ring. Take the clever boxer who lacks time out of ten the "game" bird comes out of the ring nearly beaten to a pulp and gazing through a countenance cov Many a promising youngster has met a sudden finish in the box game beamed up by the sport like that kind of gameness. The sport waged on even terms and the result determined by the clout on the chin, which leaves no doubt as to which man the honors of the struggle came to. The sport was a general term since we have had a crop of fighting men that possessed a fair percentage of real hitters. There hasn't been a big bolt on the big cat, a Kid McCoy among the big catworms; a big small cat since the public has been accorded the privilege of watching such performers as Terry McGovern, Young Corbett or. There was not one of the above mentioned scappers who did not carry the ball. The record is conclusive evidence that their main stock in trade often was brought into use. A tommy Rickey was narrowed for the simple reason that the field of pugilistic activity has been limited by the hostility of state legislators. In the game some select hitters who resemble the class of other years, which seems to indicate that the boxers with the knockout clout are There are three boys who are shinning examples of the hitting class. One of them is a boy who hit the ball but the other two have come suddenly into the limelight because they are possessors of the sleep product. A fellow, Joe Rivers, the little Spanish-American who is campaigning in the East, was the knockout. Joe Rivers has several knockouts in his record, but his most brilliant display when he put Knockout Brown, of New York, away in the tenth round of a scheduled twenty-round battle. The Knockout Brown was the saff and is considered one of the most rugged battles that ever stepped into a box. He handed punch to the jaw the New Yorker went down and out. That was the first punch that ever knocked out Brown, and the suffice that there was real stare behind it. Following on the heels of Rivers there has come a boy who hits the ball from Vancouver. "Bud" slipped down the Pacific coast to Los Angeles at the invitation of Uncle Good, who he balls from Vancouver. Good he might be. McCarey hasn't been long in finding out, for Anderson has turned out, for Anderson has started in a rebound short stretch. The Vancouverite first of all showed that he knew how to hit. So McCarya had to play the ball with real stiff test by stacking him up against the same "knockout" Brown. The New Yorker said the ball was a little more kale and incidentally the chance offered to go back home with something besides the knockout was a little more far the Warner. The match was a bad one for Brown, but it just suited Anderson, for it gave Bud the chance to play the ball and proceed to do so by knocking out Brown in the fifteenth round. Those who saw Anderson in action against the New Yorker are loud in support of him, and some of them are already proclaiming hi ma coming champion in the lightweight division. But the least of the trio of hitters is an eighteen-year-old kid, who promises to march straight to the world’s championship in his class. He is a former New Yorker and he halls from Racine, Wis. His real name is Mathew Paulson, but his manager’s name is McCue, so Matty adopted the nickname. Outside of his own ballpark McCue is not well known. He hasn’t been in the game much more than a year, and all of his bouts have been with wauwaukee. The Ask anybody Chicago—for the fans are forced to go to the Wisconsin towns to satisfy their fighting appetites—what they think of him is that he tells you that he is the greatest ever. In a little more than two months' time McCue has fought eight battles, and in all of them without having as much as one on the left out. In fact, he has left the ring after each of them without having as much as one on the left out. He has kept the sleep dose with the left hand just well as he can with the right, but he has not kept the right for the simple reason that he uses the left to straighten up his opponent's head while he lets go with the right. He has also kept the right efficient in each of his last eight fights. The Racine kid is not a swinger. He has the racy kid well covered up, but either the kid is also known pretty well how to take care of himself. He goes into the mixups well covered up, but he doesn't know when ready to hit. McCue is sighting at 124 pounds, but as he is only a young-age man, he may have something to keep the lightweights at night pretty soon. HOW HORSE RACES ARE RUN IN FAR AWAY AUSTRALIA. Since there is a prospect that racing in some form may be revived this year on several of the New York tracks it is of interest to consider how the sport may be carried out which is very important to the country. In the case of about its cessation in New York. The experience of Australia in the matter is especially valuable. Australia and New Zealand, comparatively small countries from the stand-point of population and the power of a family amounting to during in matters of social regulation and governmental control of things left in most countries to individual initiative, and in sport, as in more seriously studied and often defined by the more�nous time honored tradition. These indispensable adjuncts of racing, the numbered saddle cloth and the starting gate, were first seen in Australia so as to be held on the way of the�. While Australian jockeys used the short stirrup, though not to the exaggerated extent made popular by Todd Sloan, when Isaac Murphy, Fred Taral and Jimmy McLaughlin were willing des-ponding to be the American courses in the old-fashioned English style.

Future betting has been declared illegal and tipsters' and bookmakers' advertisements are also The racing clubs of Australia have shown that limited racing of a high-class can be made self-supporting and that it is possible to give general satisfaction. That it satisfies the public is evidenced by the support accorded it. It is satisfactory to owners of horses. The owners of the carriers are ordinary occurrences on the Australian turf.

It is being said that the chief of the Bureau of Engraving at Washington has requested the colored women employees to sit at tables provided especially for them in the lunch room. Formerly, it appears that the women sat wherever there was a vacancy. The order was at first disobeyed, but after insistence on the part of the chief it was complied with. The story is going the rounds that the order followed a visit of Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, the inference being that she was not pleased with the custom of sitting together. However, no such intimation has been given out from the White House. It is also said that the President indorses the move. The information is not at all cheering, since it is reasonable to think that the President knows about the request of the chief of the department. It is a small matter, one will say, and true enough in view of what obtains generally throughout the country. That the government should be in the business is where the hurt is, and not because the thing is new. The colored race has been asked to sit aside so long that it is rather the expected. The government has been indifferent to the thing of social equality, insisting on seeing one individual as it sees another. It has stoutly refused to be small, but it must be admitted that at times it was forced to acknowledge such a thing as race and color prejudice. The government is no more than a reflex of the people, so what is done generally by the people will more than likely become a part of the government. We have a way of looking on the government as a sort of corrective agency, and to some extent it is that way. If the races, the whites and blacks, were not so wide apart, it would appear more so, and for the best, since there must reside some where somewhat of the spirit of reproof, even in republics, where the people rule. This spirit of reproof has never been equal to the emergency; it has never been able, in our case—that of our racial relations—to hold the situation down to the government alent as manifested through the laws. It is quite as much our business to know and to discuss the underlying causes of the prejudice and discrimination as it is to make effort to drive them away. We should understand that if the home and church stand aloof socially, that the government will fall at trying to be better. We may try to think of it as standing apart, as we said before, corrective in its influence, but it is not so to any great extent. Nor should it be, regardless of our very trying position, if it is to answer correctly the republican idea. We do not think the government should acknowledge racial conditions such as we know, unless compelled to do so. It should not be initiative. Our respect is not lessened when it gives way before overwhelming sentiment; it is also a part of the sentiment, since the individual in office is no more or less in his inclinations and desires than he is when at home. But as an official he should stand as firmly for the spirit of the laws and their letter as it is possible for him to stand. Now, then, if the color question is in abeyance at Washington, in the Bureau of Engraving, or elsewhere, it is very wrong to make it manifest through official activity. A race would be less than human if it, when hunted up and hounded down, did not show some spirit of resentment; and yet this spirit, engendered by meanness on the part of others, is often set down as impudence. If the case is correctly reported, the Washington official has gone out of his way to stir up racial feelings that could just as well have slept on. SPRINGFIELD, Ill.—William T.

After the program an informal reception was held and delicate refreshments were served. Mr. Taylor, while in public, was guest of Mr. and Mrs. Hillard Gilliam. “Anne of Old Salem” a great Success “Anne of Old Salem,” the colonial play which was given at Bethlehem church in 1715, is a short time ago, was a grand success. There was an audience of about four hundred people and a great performance of the club. The play was hard one to render because of the strenuous work required of some of the characters, and the heavy for a first attempt, but the strong cast of characters got away without any severe criticism from the very critical audience. It must have been better for their success it may be said that the club has received three more engagement classes from the same audience it must have earned. There being two dramatic clubs now in existence, the enthusiasm is running high and seemed to enjoy the entertainment hugely. With such a friendly variety good ought to be done in regard to the standard of public entertainment in this city. The Players to Give Their Initial Performance. The newly organized dramatic club bearing the name of "The Players," will make their debut June 6 at the Fythian Hall. The club will present "Mr. Bob," a farce comedy in two acts. Mrs. Brown, who has the play-up conduct on a reputation for selecting characters who look their parts as well as play them, and we can safely say that the public can expect something as pretty to behold as to hear. Two characters who are expected to make quite a hit in the interpretation of the Game, Mr. Edw. Galliard, as "Patty," the little mald who longs to be a dancer, to wear crinkled skirts and stand on her toes, and Mr. Arthur Dodson, as Jenkins, the English butler with noble and dignified manners. Others who have equally as interesting parts are Mr. Van L. Stevenson, T. Long, Mr. V. Elimina, A. H. Hendricks, Edw. Galliard, Mr. Arthur Dodson and Miss Rose Henderson. The proceeds are to go to the Alpha Home Association, and tickets can be bought from its members and also members of the club. The price is twenty-pence per cent. The Belah Beck will be the playlist during the performance, and Barbour's full orchestra will play throughout the evening. Tuberculosis Tag Day.
